Champis lives on a farm near Käl in Sweden, where he's kept as a beloved pet. I wonder if this video says more about the rabbit, who seems to very much enjoy chasing the sheep around, or the sheep, who aren't particularly picky about the animal doing the herding.

It's brilliant, isn't it? I was sent it yesterday from someone in New Zealand and I sent it on to a friend in Sweden... which is wear the bun is... the farmer is saying that the bunny is the boss of the chickens and the sheep. His owner said that he bunny likes to be well liked but he also likes to be the boss. I just love how the sheep seem so frightened of little orange bun.

I have not laughed so hard in a long while!!! I love the section around 2.07/8 where the one sheep turns around as if to dispute Champis's authority; Champis charges; and then the sheep decides not to mess with the bun!Such power in a cute little fluffy body :) Go Champis Go!

Yeah, herding sheep is all fine and good, but can Champis stand on his hind legs and give paw like Dougal does? (Though Champis doesn't have to wear a harness that makes him look like a big gay watermelon. ;-)

I'm not sure Champis has the finer points of herding down since the sheep seem to go left..right..left...right... But knowing bunnies, he's just thrilled that he's the boss, and the sheep know it!!! (although, I was concerned a few times that they had trampled him!) That bunny lives a happy and fulfilled life!!!!

Well, I guess the dog wasn't doing it correctly, so, once again, a bunny had to take over. Hotel management (see Ruddy), shepherding; no matter--buns just do everything better. Champis was even shepherding the farmer for a while there! We are all just so inferior; how do we live with ourselves?

For me, the most amazing discovery about rabbits was their intelligence. Before becoming a bunny parent, I simply would not have believed things I now consider routine. Even so, this sets a new standard.

Ruddy and Champis agree; it's only bunnies that know how to do things right! Champis disapproves of large black and white dogs neglecting their sheep herding duties. Clearly Doggie doesn't know how to do it. Watch and learn, Doggie! Watch and learn!
